engine speed in revolutions per minute (RPM). Use
these gauges to keep the engine within the proper
operating range.

Refer to the engine operator’s manual for correct
RPM specifications.

7. SPEEDOMETER -

Registers forward speed in

miles per hour. Since the speedometer input is
received from water pressure, accuracy is only
approximate.

8. GPS Unit -

The global positioning satellite (GPS)

system performs many functions. The system can
precisely indicate your location, form a trip record
or a speed log. In addition, individual mapping
chips can be purchased through your authorized
Cobalt dealer for most lakes, rivers and coastal
areas of the U.S. and Canada. See your authorized
Cobalt dealer for further information referencing
these chips.

throttle control.

11. TRIM (Trim Gauge, starboard engine) -

This

gauge indicates the angle position of the starboard

13. TRIM TAB SWITCHES / TRIM INDICATOR
(Optional) -

These switches control the trim angle

of the optional trim tabs. These used in conjunction
with the drive unit trim will maximize the
performance and ride of the boat. The indicators
display the relative position of the trim tabs.

Do not use the depth sounder for
navigation.
